Hello, my name is Jonas Gonsalves. I am a filmmaker who was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I now reside in Chicago, where I’m pursuing a BFA in Film & Television at DePaul University, with a concentration in screenwriting.

I have always had an interest in films and filmmaking, however, it was when I discovered works of the avant-garde, indie, and Nouvelle Vague cinema movements, that I knew that I wanted to dedicate my life to creating and experimenting in the medium of film.

Through this, other forms of art opened their doors to me. I discovered a love of creating and studying in all art forms. Whether it be composing music, writing prose, writing for the stage, or studying the art of painting and sculpture. Through this, I found it essential to synthesize my love and knowledge of all art forms into my work, which makes me learn and love something new every time I watch or make a film.
